    Here’s a fun “tickle your brain” moment. How many Israelis are descendants of ethnically cleansed Jews from other middle eastern states? The other half of the catastrophe that Hamas supporters really don’t want to talk about.

      Yes, europe making a colony of the people it ethnically cleansed to do their dirty work on an entirely different set of people is really gross, glad we agree.

      Israel could stop being an ethnostate, instead of disenfranchising non-jews and sterilizing non-white jews.

        Isn’t just about 20% of the Israeli population Arab? Again: Europe didn’t ethnically cleanse the Middle East. That’d be the belligerents of ‘48 who went from sizable Jewish populations to populations you can count on a hand. You know, a good ol’ fashioned ethnic cleansing.

          do they get to vote the same as Jews?

          Europeans are just projecting their guilt and instrumentalizing the very people they ethnically cleansed to do their dirty work. It’s sick.
